Classical Soldering – Blinking 3D Christmas Tree Kit – #0105

Man, it’s been a while since I’ve done a video. (busy holiday season!) It’s also been a long time since I’ve done a classical soldering video, so I figured this one would be appropriate.

For any non-Christians watching, it’s just a silly tree. I’m atheist myself who just happens to like Christmas, the wonderful Pagan holiday. Let’s not get into theology/politics and leave that silly crap to Donald Trump. (or whichever retarded GoP politician thinks there’s actually a war against Christmas)

The kit is by Velleman and I bought it at Microcenter. (I believe it was under $10)

If you get this kit, be careful not to make the mistake that I did. I bent one of the LEDs to get it more “straight” after it was already soldered and it lifted both pads, and broke them off of the traces. I had to scrape the traces and solder directly to them.
